Absolutely gorgeous Bill! You've got an eye for stunning compositions! And it does look like you guys got horrible flooding over there. I'm glad things are getting back to normal! You've sure made the most of it with these beautiful shots! -K

Well Bill...Stunning, graphically beautiful and still dramatic..Love the fog lifting with hints of blue sky..the trees refection in the water..and the muted blue fog in the right of the photo!You are so able to connect brain to eye to compose such remarkable and memorable photographs..

This just takes my breath away! Spectacular! Congratulations, Bill, this is a top winner! :-)

This is splendid Bill! I like it even better than yesterday's version because of the wonderful colors that bring it alive--great feel of depth!! Ivan did a better job than the flood filter could :0)

Magnificent...how do you do it???? You, Mr. Raco, really have the special eye.kk

So Bill, I guess you've kind of caught on by now that opinion has it that this is a most spectacular photo--hands down, we all love it, it better be Photo of the Day pretty darn soon or there's something wrong in BP-land.

It really is a most wonderful photo Bill--you've really created a most special image here. Congratulations.

Wow, unique and beautiful... the lighting and colors are exquisite. Congrats on your finalist, Bill.

Out of the devastation you've created art and beauty! This image creates mixed feelings for me, but it truly is measured as art Bill, for the emotion that it evokes! Congratulations. I hope this goes further!

In my book, this one belongs at the top of the page! Congratulations Bill for this magnificant photo. I've told people from the state about your photograph and will no doubt send more people to take a look at it!

Congrats again Bill on a very well deserved win. You have my vote for Grand Prize :-)

What a terrific image, bill!! I thought I had commented on this...maybe you have one similar??

Anyway, I've been away for a little over a week and am glad to be back home. Particulary since it's much colder in Canada!! Was a few days past peak foliage but I shot other things...what else does one do?? Big congrats to you, bill! Well deserved!

Hey, Bill! Don't ask me how... but I missed this one!! Wow! What a beautiful shot and a great win! So happy to see more gold in your gallery (which I am lacking lately)!!LOL HUGE congratulations, my friend!
